News & Rumors

SILVERWOOD Athol, Idaho

Park News - (10/24/14) Roller Coaster Alley has posted a great trip report and review of Scarywood, the Halloween event at Silverwood. (9/2/14) A fire broke out at Silverwood last weekend that has been determined to have been caused by a discarded lit cigarette. The fire broke out in a restroom building at the Boulder Beach waterpark, which destroyed the building before firefighters could put out the blaze.

2015 - Fly Away Hot Air Balloon - Confirmed - (1/29/14) Another family ride was already selected to be added for the 2015 season, the Fly Away Hot Air Balloon.

???? - New Wooden Coaster - Rumor - (12/2/13) According to comments reported at IAAPA, Rocky Mountain Coasters says they have an idea for a new coaster project for Silverwood that they hope to build for the park in the future. It’s something they are excited to build, but have no timeline for it set yet. (4/25/12) Screamscape sources tell us that the proposed Rocky Mountain Coaster project for Silverwood will be delayed for at least a year or two, so don’t look for it until 2014 or 2015. (11/22/11) According to Screamscape sources, there is a chance that the new custom built wooden coaster project from Rocky Mountain Coasters coming in 2013 just may be for Silverwood. It’s a bit too early to say for sure, but if true, this coaster could also have some stand-out unique features that will put Silverwood really on the map.

???? - New Ice Palace - Rumor Only - (4/16/11) I don’t know how serious this is, but a rumor posted to Roller Coaster Alley mentions that the park’s Ice Palace will have it’s last show in it this season, and then will be used only as a Scarywood haunt and as Scarywood prop storage in the future. However, they also claim that plans for a new Ice Palace are in the works at some point in the future.
